Description In folklore, lycanthropy is the ability or power of a human being to undergo transformation into a wolf. Although the term lycanthropy properly speaking refers to metamorphosis into a wolf, lycanthropy is in popular practice used to describe the transformation into any animal, even though the proper term is therianthropy.

Michael Slatky, NYCMember Since August 2007Artist Statement Michael Slatky (b. 1972) is an American artist who works in watercolor, pencil, ink, and digital media. He is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City with a B.F.A. in Illustration. He currently lives in Manhattan.

Slatky’s pieces are immediately striking; visceral, hallucinatory, and simultaneously fascinated with and repulsed by the human form. His focus is nothing short of the limitations of bodily reality and the possibility of transcendence.

In 2011, Slatky self-published his first book, "Dogs' Minds in Asphalt: Book One" in a limited edition. 2012 will see the release "Dogs' Minds in Asphalt: Book Two", as well as "Approach Me", part of an ongoing collaboration with the artists’ collective 1RODHWY.
